Heh. I haven't been anywhere online much. I'm like Butsy on a bad day: not enough boots for all the butts in need of kicking.
EDIT: I'm playing in a charity hockey tourney this weekend in Voorhees. If you wanna see slow mo hockey c'mon over!

I just hope if Homer trades our prospects we get a young D man back, still not feeling J Lo?

Flyers are up to something , could be getting ready for a big trade for a "D-MAN" : Gathering more info

- flyerscup2011

That is nebulous enough that if the Flyers trade for a D-man ever again in their future he can claim to be right.

I'm not a fan either, but he is still a good player. He just not as good as his Cap hit would suggest.

I would rather the young guys develop and have that money free for the deadline or next season then to be stuck with Jay-Bo.

I look at J-bow and that cap hit and I see a team paying a guy to be a top 10 d-man in the league.. I guy who is dominant in all three zones, a annual all-star, and game changer.. He is none of those.


What he is, however, is a very reliable dman who brings good skating and puck moving skills to the back end.

Two years at that cap hit, not worth it to me. Lets go into the season with that money and let the kids play. They can always upgrade during the season when more players become available.

Along the same lines, Bouwmeester is a player that is a good player in all 3 zones. But he doesn't excel in anyone area. He's not dominant offensively, or defensively. Not a huge physical player, or a big shot blocker. Jack of all trades, master of none.
